You can connect a management station to one switch with Ethernet while managing other switches
connected to the first switch with FC. To do so, set the FC gateway address of each of the other switches
to be managed to the FC IP address of the first switch .
The gateway address of the first switch should be set to whatever the gateway address is for the subnet
on which the first switch resides. See Table 12.

Maintaining the 8Gb SAN Switch
The8GbSANSwitchdoesnotrequireanyregularphysicalmaintenance.
However, it
is critical that environmental conditions, described in Environmental requirements, page 50,
are met to he
lp prevent swi tch failure due to heat stress or improper air flow.
Installing dust covers in empty ports
The d ust covers included in the 8Gb SAN Switch shipping ca rton (see Figure 1) must be inserted in
ports where SFPs are not installed. Installing dust covers ensures proper air flow and h elps reduce dust
contamination of the switch.
Replacing an SFP transceiver
In some cases, you might need to reinstall an SFP transceiver.
To remove
an SFP transceiver:
1. Press and hold the cable release.
2. Remove the cable from the transceiver.
3. Pull the
bail (wire handle) to release the transceiver.
4. Graspthebail,andgentlybutfirmly pull the transceiver out of the port.
5. Repeat this proce dure for the remaining ports as required.
To install a replacement SFP:
1. Make su
re that the bail is in the unlocked position.
